Some people ask "how come no one's ever tried to be a super hero?"The words of the character Dave Lizewski from the 2010 film and the comic of the same name.The film followed a teenage boy deciding to be a superhero.Along the way he gets notoriety from YouTube while saving someone from gangsters.This gives him attention from the Mob,but also the other superheroes like Hit-Girl,Big Daddy and Red Mist.
Spoiler for first film ahead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the end of the first,Red Mist turns out to be a traitor and the whole time he was helping his father who is the head of the mobThe father-daughter team of Hit-Girl and Big Daddy were secretly killing the Mafia members,but the Mob thought it was Kick Ass,so the mob went after him by letting the Don's son make friends with Kick Ass under the identity of Red Mist.Red Mist captured Big Daddy and Kick Ass with the help of goons and shot Hit Girl dead(or so he thought).The Mob killed Big Daddy right before Hit Girl arrived to save them.Feeling bad for her,Kick Ass agreed to help her get back at the mob.Kick Ass killed the don and all the mafia members,and escaped with Hit Girl and how they are both trying to lead a normal life....Red Mist is still alive and plans on taking revenge.
So thats where the second comic begins,Red Mist is now a villian and he is recruiting other homemade villians.Aaron Johnson will return as Kick Ass,Chloe Grace Moretz will return as Hit Girl,and Christopher Mintz-Plassen will return as as Red Mist.Nicholas Cage is said to reprise his role also as Big Daddy,but most likely to be in flashback because his character is now dead.Jim Carrey will join the cast as Colonel Stars,one of the new heroes.I have read both of these comics and I have enjoyed both very much.
The first movie was also done well.My only problems are that it's a different director,and new studio.Matthew Vaughn(X-Men:First Class) directed the first film but now it's Jeff Wadlow (Cry Wolf),and Vaughn is definitely the superior choice.Also Vaughn's own independent company MARV released it,but now it's Universal Studios and sometimes studios push around director's and tell them what they want to see unless your a big director.Someone like Christopher Nolan(Dark Knight Trilogy) who's made the studio money,they will basically give him anything he asks for and won't question anything.Wadlow is small time though,and the comic is pretty graphic,but John Romita Jr,one of the writers of the comic,says that all the controversial stuff from the book will be in the film also.
I'm looking forword to it obviously,i'm really hoping it doesn't dissapoint because i love the first movie so much,i even have the posters of the four main characters.Yeah i'm a nerd.But anyways,it is also said that the comic writers are writing a book thats enitrely about Hit-Girl and takes place inbetween the first and second book.A comic all about her sounds like pure awesomeness.Fingers crossed for this movie to be awesome.
